New FeedBurner Statistics : Uncommon Uses

If you use Feedburner feeds (as I do), then some newly announced Feedburner features may be to your interest.

I will quote the Feedburner Standard stats which are offered free.

* Uncommon Uses: This is a new concept we’re introducing that really begins to leverage the critical mass of feed readers, bots, search engines, news filters, and other common feed sources that we observe. Uncommon Uses identifies and highlights places where your feed content is referenced or clicked that FeedBurner does not recognize as a common feed service. Uncommon uses includes contact with your feed by non-subscribers.
* Podcasts: We’ve (finally) added the ability to track the number of downloads of rich media enclosures within a feed, including audio and video, in addition to the number of subscriptions.

If you login to your feedburner stats, Uncommon uses give you a useful insight as to where all your feed is getting displayed and aggregated by rss and news aggregators on the web. Check your results now. Bloggers using Feedburner Podcasting service will probably understand its usefulness. (I do not podcast this feed).
